The fool says it is impossible to complete the entire Torah material and he gives up (medrash 8:3). The clever one will concentrate on what is before him to study and will eventually complete everything. This concept is consistently true throughout our whole Torah commitment. Just focus on your immediate obligation and fulfill the Will of Hashem. What a dynamic and significant lesson for the completion of this year and our aspirations for the future.

Have a wonderful, significant Shabbos and a blessed year for yourselves and all Clal Yisroel.

As an important principle the issue of gratitude is, in our service to Hashem, we find in our parsha something amazing. On the pasuk “Vilo nasan Hashem lohem lev lodaas” Rashi explains “lihakir es chasdei Hashem”—that presently you will receive Divine ability to relate, understand and appreciate the kindness of Hashem. As basic an important a requirement it is, and how serious of a commitment we must have to achieve it, we can only truly achieve gratitude through this special Divine order and assistance. At least we must yearn to have gratitude.

It is essential to prepare for a meaningful fulfillment of the important mitzvah of tekias shofar which has an awesome input, affect and influence over the events of the coming year. Study, memorize and integrate R’ Saadya Gaon’s ten explanations for the blowing of the shofar found in many machzorim.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a wonderful new year.

Through the auspicies of our tradition this seemingly insignificant date is the awesome significant Shabbos of mevorchim chodesh Elul. The blessings of this Shabbos influence Rosh Chodesh in our week and in turn Rosh chodesh influences the whole month which has its ultimate input on Rosh Hashonah of 5766. The Rosh Hashonah is the soul of the coming year to those that live with the true value and insight this Shabbos has the utmost meaning and criteria for our future. The parsha Re’ay shouts to us to observe what is taking place in current events, the voice of Hashem calling, shouting the responsibility and the respect of the gift of life….

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

In our parsha we find that Hashem promises life for respect and honor to parents. The essence of this is out of recognition and gratitude that we owe our life to them.

Likewise the mitzvah of Shiluach HaKan echoes the concept of the significance of parents. And the reward again is life.

In Elul we dig for the essence of the truth.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Rashi (16:19) regarding “shochad” enlightens us with the awesome insight that it is impossible to receive a bribe and not to see things in the wrong perspective. What a frightening thought—in matters pertaining to our personal life—because of our materialistic leanings it is as if we are bribed, prejudiced, and therefore it is almost impossible to see things in its true light.

In the light of Chodesh Elul, the month of self-improvement, this presents for us a more significant problem.

Cry to Hashem for help and have good friends that will, out of love, open your eyes.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
